The fleet posture settings sound like a really nifty feature. Very useful for defence fleets, so that you won't have to micro them all the time.

Also, my best regards to Elliot! Hope he's doing fine despite all of his work.

Ok, after that pic, I had to post something. I can't go into too much detail yet, but here's another feature point. Keep in mind the final implementation may be different from what you see here from the design notes.


Imagine what he might have given us if we posted a picture of a Tyranosaur!




Okay Mr. Rutins, I was just teasing... it was too fun to pass up. You have already been generous.

Ok, a few more things to think about and discuss:

- Territory / Borders


I think the main point of discussion with regards to territory/borders is to fix it in its current implementation, before making changes that will leave it even more/just as broken as it is now.

The diplomatic option to demand removal of forces from your system is not working. It never has. It's been bugged. From release. It's never been fixed. No indication has ever been given that there was any intention of fixing it.

Expanding on buggy features will just mean a bigger, more buggy game. Is this really the sort of product Matrix wants to peddle?

I can only assume that everything was OK. There are news reports about it, but no follow up to say what the damage was. Like this one :-

Or any friggin' time for that matter! My line of games for the last quarter of this year include Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Forza 4, Skyrim and Batman: Arkham City. Not to mention all the GOG and indie games I may be playing + My SR2 addiction started to kick in recently. 
And people are complaining about the lack of great games! Go figure.

It's about 3 months for beta testing am I right? Not sure, but if we assume it is, then we should be starting soon if TPTB are going for a xmas release.

So I guess it is IGard who is correct... because we have plenty of powers that be...

And I am waiting for CH to come out with Genesis II (yes, I still love board games.)

What is SR-2?
